Skunk Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I know you can use a 7800 cartridge port, but will it play 7800 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I know you can use a 7800 cartridge port, but will it play 7800 games? Nope, its 2600 hardware, no way possible to play 7800 games. Sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 What about the Flashback 1? I saw one at the mall, and it looks like it's playing a few 7800 games, plus it's modeled like the 7800 with two button controlers so I think it might be running 7800 tech. Any word on being able to mod those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on being able to mod those?The FB1 was an NES clone in disguise, running recreations of 2600/7800 games. From what I understand, it was originally intended to be a new 2600/7800 machine, but time and budget constraints made it necessary to use the Famiclone chip instead (which will not run native 2600 or 7800 software). There is reportedly a way of modifying the FB1 for an NES cartridge slot, but that information can't be given out without permission from Atari's legal department; last I heard, Curt Vendel was working on obtaining this.
